The former star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Porsha Williams, has unexpectedly filed for divorce from Nigerian businessman Simon Guobadia.
People Magazine reports that the couple’s brief 15-month marriage came to an end on Thursday when the official paperwork was filed in Atlanta.
In November 2022, Porsha, 42, and Simon, 59, tied the knot in a sumptuous event that included two ceremonies: an American wedding in Atlanta and a traditional Nigerian ceremony, demonstrating their abiding love and the merging of their cultures.
After just one month of dating, Porsha posted about their excitement on social media, highlighting their “crazy love” and dedication to happiness. Their engagement was the result of a fast-paced courtship that began in May 2021.
But lately, there have been internet rumors and conjecture over Simon Guobadia’s citizenship status. Despite the excitement, a close friend of the couple revealed to People Magazine that the divorce is “unrelated to recent allegations involving Simon’s past.” The source went on to say that the reason for their breakup is still a “ongoing matter,” raising the possibility of unreported complications.
Fans and admirers who have followed the pair from a whirlwind relationship to a lavish celebration of their union have surely been shocked to learn of their split. It’s unclear how they will handle this new phase of their lives once the specifics of their divorce become clear.
The couple’s journey, which began with a fast-paced love tale and continued with lavish wedding festivities before ending with an abrupt breakup, captivates viewers and begs questions about the complexities of their relationship.
